The ice cream itself is a traditional Italian recipe from 1936 and is made from scratch every day using local ingredients and certain elements from Italy.

The brothers said they look forward to seeing what it will bring to the people across the country.

Lee added: “This is the first one in Scotland and we know that people in Glasgow love spicy stuff.

“We had to check with the standards agency to explain what was in it and explain that it is like a thermal nuclear explosion in your mouth.

“That took a bit of time to get it sorted but they were happy as long as we included a disclaimer.

“Our family in Italy see it as an honour to bring something like this here.”

Martin Bandoni, 50, Aldwych Café owner, said: “We wear gloves for protection, chilli can have different effects on the skin especially if you leave it for too long.

“Our ice cream is just a standard price just like the rest of our ice creams. It’s £2 for a scoop in a tub and a cone is £1.90.

“There’s no premium to be paid for it, just a standard price. We wouldn’t overcharge our customers.

“They call the flavour a cream spice but it’s really a flavour sensation, it’s almost to trick your brain, well that’s the whole idea for it.

“I think everyone is different when they taste it because we hear various types of suggestions.”

Lee added: “A lot of Italian guys go and have a romantic evening with their girlfriends or wives and they will have some this ice cream because it is a well-known fact that chilli is an aphrodisiac and it is nice with a glass of wine bubbling in your mouth.

“So we will sell it here until just after Valentine’s Day, people should come try it.”
